Members Awake77 Posted June 15, 2006 Author Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 I really dig my padKontrol, but Id consider Ebaying it for one of these...waiting to they're out for a while to hear more actual feedback. The Auto-Sync seems kick ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gravitom Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 I just got an SL 61 last week. The pads are very small, even smaller than most cheap drum machines. They also have practically no give to them which I think is very weird. Also since they are laid out in a long row its hard to play very complex beats on them because you have to travel too far and hit a small area. I also have a Trigger Finger, which has perfect pads IMO, so I don't expect to ever use the pads on the SL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warpus Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 Yeah, I thought the pads on the SL were pretty much useless for drum programming. But they could be useful for triggering clips in Live or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members wackawa Posted June 15, 2006 Members Share Posted June 15, 2006 Hiya! The drum pads can be assigned to send out the same kind of info that any of the other controls can, including sysex, etc. like someone mentioned, the are very stiff. as in they dont seem to move at all. you can calibrate the touch sensitivity though, but i think it would take some getting used to if you were coming from, an MPC or the XL7 or something. i never thought the spacing of the pads were bad, they are just 'small'. If you dont have any kind of padd controller, then I think you would be happy with this. If you did have one like the trigger finger, iwouldnt buy this for the pads only. The sl's are a very good 'all in one' controller solutions. With that, it does somethings better than others, thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
